Feedback & Reports

Day 1 of 2 on this beat, river conditions perfect for trotting for Grayling. Caught in the field then upstream in the woods. Called it a day at 10.30 after snapping my float rod. Excellent excuse to buy a new one.

10 Trout, 16 Grayling

1 Trout, 6 Grayling

River running high

Great conditions on the final day of a miserable season resulted in an injury time winner... A 38” hen fish on a red pot belly pig. Fish never left the water, and was returned safe and sound to continue her journey and spawning! We certainly need her gene pool and offspring for future seasons...

1 Salmon, 3 Trout

River in flood, did not fish.

No salmon moved or seen, 10” on the LlanS gauge. Lovely beat, good access, reasonable wading. Would like to try again with more water.

8 Trout

No salmon seen.

Two nice grayling on spiders

2 Grayling

Nine grayling to 10” five oos trout to 8”. (Do any anglers use the metric system by the way? Is it an age thing?) on a team of three wet flies with William’s Favourite most effective and an olive bodied partridge not far behind.

6 Trout, 9 Grayling

Started with heavy nymphs in the main run and took one grayling in the morning. Moved up to the upper run lunchtime and despite cold downstream gusts, the fish were rising and taking our old friend the Grayling Steel Blue. It's a remarkable fly, strangely enough I didn't do well with it last season but this year it seems to be back on form.
